" LADIES--flaying waited in 'vain to see soma person of higher rank than myself set forward a Subscription` amongst the females of the anted Kingdom, for the Assistance of the brave Spaniards, in order to chew to the whole world that we are not deficietit in Those generous feelings thin so nobly charatterise our countrymen, I at last venture to appeal to you on this most interesting snbjeft. There cats be no impropriety, 'surely, in our giving this public testimony of our sentiments, and contri buting the only support in our power to a cause in which . the best and noblest passions of the heart are so deeply engaged. " Let me remind you, that it is the batee'of England which is now fighting in Spain ;• and that if the tyrant of the earth is successfully re,sisAd in that country, it will be the means probably olavert ing for ever, from this happy Island, the danger of invasion, .and, the chance of its becoming the - Et: in of war ;. calamity replete with evils too terrible even for the 'imagination to encounter.

All that is required: of you . is Soni c slight sacrifice, some trifling instances of self-denial, which temporiny economy'may replace, and which will leave behind it, is recollection, A more pure and permanent pleasure than any gratification vanity can confer. " There are some amongst you pessessed'of large independent f or t unes; and, for such, there is no excuse; but the generality of those to whom I ad dress myself', are probably in the same .situation with myself mothers, and mistresses of families,, ceiving, for their private expences, 'an 'allowance from their husbands suitable to their respeelive con ditions in lite.

Since that few days have passed without his, taking or killing different ,parties of the Freud, generally superior in force, to those which attacked them.
